There are some songs that I always sing out loud when I hear them. Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey and Respect by Aretha Franklin are the first that come to mind. Boston’s More Than a Feeling is another. The truth is I like to sing out loud to most songs.

I always sing in the car. Now that everyone is talking on their mobile phones or blue tooths, it isn’t awkward to sing out loud while alone in the car. I have always done it and I am not embarrassed if someone sees me. I do feel badly if they hear me because I can’t sing very well.

Another song that I love to sing out loud is Zombie by the Cranberries. I am really good at that one and would even sing it at Karaoke. It is completely out of character and blows people away to think of me singing that one! I know all the words and can sing along to almost anything from the 80’s. I am partial to Madonna and Prince songs. I do like to sing a few Linkin Park and Black Eyed Peas songs, so I am not stuck in the 80’s!

I think singing along to the music is one of the last free things we can do for pure enjoyment. As a child, I loved to sing along, hairbrush in my hand, pretending to be a rock star. Now it’s not a stretch to imagine that as we have Singstar, Rock Band, and Guitar Hero to entertain ourselves. But the feeling it gives us is the same. I feels good to sing loud! Who knows, maybe there is stardom in my future! Don’t Stop Believing! Hold on to that feeling!!
